Red Hat at IBM Think 2019

Together, Red Hat and IBM offer solutions that benefit both business and IT groups in organizations around the world. Through our partnership, we provide everything our clients may need for a secure, resilient infrastructure.

BOOTH #415

Thank you for stopping by the Red Hat booth (#415) and/or our Code @Think lounge at IBM Think 2019 to speak with open source experts and learn about our joint solutions with IBM.

Red Hat® Enterprise Linux®

Red Hat® Enterprise Linux® powers apps that run your business across bare-metal, virtual, containerized, and private an public clouds-all backed by our award-winning support.

Red Hat® OpenShift

Red Hat® OpenShift is a container application platform that brings Docker and Kubernetes to the enterprise. Regardless of your applications architecture, OpenShift lets you easily and quickly build, develop, and deploy in nearly any infrastructure, public or private.

Red Hat Storage

Software-defined storage is inherently open. It decouples hardware from software, freeing you from vendor lock-in. Our software-defined storage is also open source. This gives you control over exactly how your storage is formatted and used—based on your business’ unique workloads, environments, and needs.

I.T. Automation

Automation is critical to managing, changing, and adapting not only your IT infrastructure, but the way your business operates through its processes. This frees up IT staff to focus on bigger issues, resolving them, and—in turn—making them routine and eligible for automation.

Optimize Your New and Advanced Workloads with Red Hat on IBM Power Systems

AMC Metreon, Level 3 | Theater 13

Power Systems have always worked well with Red Hat Enterprise Linux, but there are many new business critical solutions running on Power Systems today. We have broadened our partnership with Red Hat to include offerings with POWER9 servers including Red Hat OpenStack or infrastructure-as-a-service deployments and Red Hat OpenShift for running containers. In addition, advances available on Red Hat and POWER today include advanced Artificial Intelligence offerings and HPC offerings used in the world's largest supercomputers. Learn how all solutions infrastructure is not created equal and how you can keep your data moving with IBM Power (and RHEL).

Cloud is integral to virtually every enterprise digital transformation strategy. Yet less than 20% of workloads have moved to the cloud. Why? Put simply, complexity. Enterprises are struggling to modernize apps and workloads, and overcome persistent tech and data silos reinforced by vendor lock in. Speakers Arvind Krishna, SVP Hybrid Cloud and Director of Research at IBM, Paul Cormier, EVP and president, products, and technologies at Red Hat, and others, will discuss how agile enterprises can accommodate changing business requirements at speed. The right cloud foundation built on open standards frees workloads and data to run on the right cloud model, on or off premises, and across multiple clouds. It embraces tech and data from more sources to speed innovation. And when combined with unique industry, security and tech expertise, it can tailor the journey to cloud to your enterprise for better outcomes.

1:30 - 2:15 p.m.

Why Run Red Hat Workloads on IBM Cloud?

San Francisco Ballroom 207

It's increasingly important for enterprises to develop a sound hybrid cloud strategy for digital transformation. Some workloads are suited for public cloud, but others need to remain on-premises or in other private cloud deployments. A key to this strategy is the portability of enterprise software subscriptions. Red Hat has partnered with IBM to allow our joint customers to utilize their existing Red Hat subscriptions into the IBM Cloud via Red Hat's Cloud Access, including RHEL, OpenShift, and much more. This allows our customers the ultimate flexibility in where they deploy their Red Hat solutions on-premises or on IBM Cloud, on virtual servers or bare metal. Learn how Red Hat workloads are suited to run on IBM Cloud.

Software-Defined Storage (SDS) has become a proven foundation for a wide variety of workloads, offering significant cost savings and greater flexibility versus legacy systems. However, complicated architecture, complex setup, cycles of testing and tuning, and multiple support contracts have made it difficult for many organizations to deploy SDS at scale. What if you could leverage all of the knowledge and experience of the successful deployments of the past and simplify every step of your design and deployment, without sacrificing the cost efficiencies and flexibility of open source? IBM, Red Hat and Lenovo have partnered together to tackle these issues. In this session, experts from each organization will discuss the intricacies of traditional complicated SDS, and then wow you with the simplicity of IBM Rapid Deploy for Red Hat Storage.

Creating Microservices with Camel and Red Hat Fuse on OpenShift

Moscone South 103 B

Camel and Red Hat Fuse provide the foundation of agile integration. With a simple syntax, Camel makes system integrations more readable, maintainable, and flexible. Camel is also a great tool for developing microservice applications that are deployed with Fuse on OpenShift. With this approach, developers can quickly create and deploy scalable microservice applications. In this session, we will explore fundamental Camel concepts, microservice applications, and containerized microservices with Fuse on OpenShift.

Self-Paced Labs - Continuous Delivery with OpenShift Source-to-Image

Code Cafe at Tabletop Tap House

In this lab, you will create, build, and deploy an application on an OpenShift cluster. OpenShift’s simple web console makes it easy to configure “source-to-image” for continuous delivery and deployment of applications. With this feature, OpenShift automatically deploys applications by injecting application source from a Git repository into a container, along with the other necessary resources. Each commit to the repository kicks off another deployment, creating an ideal platform for continuous delivery.
